We shipped PC, Mac, and Linux! Please read this!!

In case you didn’t read the earlier emails we’ve sent you, you should know: WE SHIPPED!!

Maybe not every platform (although we sure tried) but people have been playing the PC, Mac and Linux games for a week. You should be too!

That said, Apple has been sitting on our game for two weeks now and without telling us anything. We have no idea when it will appear in the Apple Store. But when it does, we promise to let you know immediately!

The Android version is suffering from the typical “way too many different versions of Android” syndrome, but is making progress. Here, too, we’ll tell you right away.

Update? Already?

Yes, we plan to release an updated version of the game very soon with several improvements:

Language selection option in the control panel. The game currently uses your operating system’s language setting. We’re going to let you decide what language you prefer.

Two new languages: Polish and Russian.

Scoring: We're implementing scoring because so many of you miss it – and because you need to know just how much of the game you did NOT see!

If you have any problems, please check here first. Probably someone else has already figured out a fix for it.

Linux Support

If you are a Linux or Mac guru, we need your help! Could you please jump on the new forum (above) and help your Linux and Mac friends? We’re a bunch of Windows people here at Replay Games and neither Linux nor Mac is our strong suit.

Tell Us How We Did

We’ve created a Customer Service form at http://bit.ly/LSL_Survey so you can tell us how much fun you’re having, and/or if you’re having troubles with the game. As you can imagine, we're swamped, but we’re trying our best to help everyone. We'd appreciate it if you'd help us by pointing others to the form, too. It's all about helping Larry have a great release!

Reddit AMA

Al Lowe will do another Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Saturday, July 6th, at 1:00 p.m. EDT. Join us as we discuss making Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded and the whole Kickstarter experience. Our AMA is at http://www.reddit.com/r/iama

They would like to make a new game but Codemasters who owns the Leisure Suit Larry licesne has only allowed them to do remakes. As it is they wouldn't fund this game because they didn't think anyone would buy it (this kickstarter success sure showed those guys).

I have never received my Steam key either. How to those of us who helped support this get the game? I have backed a few Kickstarter games and have as yet to get any of them. Beginning to think Kickstarter is a scam for people to get money.

@Stephen: Okay, so you have the key to create the backer account, right? After you created the account, you should be able to sign in at the top right of the Replay website and get all your downloads there, including the Steam key.

@Stephen: Did you get the soundtrack from Replay or from Bandcamp? If you got it from Replay, simply go there again and you should be able to download the game now.
Otherwise check your e-mails from the end of August 2012 for a mail containing your backer key and go here https://replaygamesinc.com/kickstarter . If you can't find the key, there is an option to request a new key.

@Leonard: That is weird. Have you contacted Replay about this? Their customer service uses a different e-mail address than the one used for the backer reward notifications. Or you could contact them through Kickstarter.

@Leonard: Have you checked the spam settings? My provider has a standard setting that automatically removes spam instead of moving it to a spam folder. In that case, you wouldn't be able to find mails that are considered spam because they simply get deleted.

I don't know about Maor Ezer but I've never received a single e-mail from Replay Games (not counting updates through Kickstarter). Even when I go to the site and punch in my e-mail address and it says it's sent, nothing comes in. No spam, no nothing.

@Michael Loftis, there is a way to force the game to specific display settings albeit not a very clean one. As it will probably break new features from working correctly (language select) and has some side effects I won't give full instructions on how to do it, but will only tell how the workaround works.

The display settings (among other things) are written to the windows registry after you change them. The problem is, that when you start the game, the display settings are reset and the default settings are written to the registry.

So to work around the problem you can remove the write permissions from the registry key these settings are stored in and the game can't reset the settings anymore.
As a side effect you cant' change in game volume / subtitle / etc settings and the age verification questions are the same each time you run LSLR and start a new game.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. There is no guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

The ideas behind the resolution have been 4:3 and 16:9 support. The Mac should have higher resolution options than there are available now. On the forum there are a few threads about this going right now.

It would be nice to include some sort of ending bonus (like Larry 7 did) to those who manage to get all the points in the scoring system. This would certainly give a reason to play through the game all the way again. I felt like I really took my time getting through the game, but I'm sure I missed some stuff.
